regional specialities
 
Do you have any personal favorite foods that are specific to your imediate erea only? For me its coffee milk, coffee ice cream, and coffee shakes. Pisses me off that I can't get them on trips.

You have to be from Texas or Kansas. I agree, here in Texas if you're going to use the term "barbecue" it better have at LEAST 3 of the following:

1) Fajitas
2) Brisqit (sp?)
3) Sausage
4) Ribs
5) BBQ chicken (bathed in beer... mmmm)

But other than that Mexican food in general. People, if it's actually spicy it's a cheap knockoff. True Mexican food is full of spices, not spicy... there's a huge difference.

Some good homemade tamales..... why did i have to rush and finish all of them so fast?

irseg 02-09-2004 11:19 PM

I miss crabcakes from Maryland. But the abundance of seafood here in SW Florida helps make up for it.

omega2K4 02-09-2004 11:30 PM

I have long desired to taste the edible constructs of this IN N OUT.
I fear I will have to take to the open road to find this Hamburger El Dorado.
Some day, IN N OUT burger, some day you will be mine.

barbeque out the back of my place under the shade of a tree with a beer... mmmm *drools*

cchris 02-10-2004 04:49 AM

Fresh fish caught then ate on the spot on a make shift BBQ whilst camping.

Bream,Leather jacket and Flathead come to mind.

ShaniFaye 02-10-2004 05:02 AM

For me its not so much food, but sweet ice tea, its REAL hard to find anywhere but in the south, I hate going somewhere and being given that nestea lemon crap or having someone give me unsweet and telling me to put sugar in it. Don't these people realize if the sugar isnt dissolved in the tea when its HOT its going to taste like shit? Trying to put sugar in cold tea and have it mix up right is like trying to mix oil and water..ewww nasty tasting stuff

Cynthetiq 02-10-2004 06:58 AM

NY Pizza and Deli sandwhiches....

Ripsaw 02-10-2004 07:15 AM

You forget the bagels my friend.

You cannot get a bagel anywhere else but NYC.

Broon Ale.

absorbentishe 02-10-2004 07:30 AM

Any thing from Tony Packo's, Pickle's and Peppers, Hot dogs, hot dog sauce.

raeanna74 02-10-2004 08:02 AM

Actually I'm not crazy about the regional food around here. It's primarily a German, Polish influence. We have lots of kraut, and brats, and stuff. I hate kraut and rarely am in the mood for brats. They made me ill to smell it cooking even.

I love Onion soup (found that in Pittsburgh) and grits. You'll never find grits on the menu in a restaurant around here. Sometimes it's hard to find in the stores even. Also I can't find much Ocra either. I love that in soup. I was born in South Carolina and lived there till I was schoolage. Guess that accounts for my food tastes.

rockzilla 02-10-2004 08:30 AM

I have to get back to Montreal soon for some Schwartz's Smoked Meat.

Best. Deli. Ever.

So true. I was blown away when I found out that you can't get sweet tea anywhere but the south. How anyone else can drink that other crap is beyond me. Also, what about chicken and dumplings, cornbread, fried or barbequed ANYTHING, biscuits and gravy? I love southern food.

sailor 02-11-2004 12:17 PM

Barbecue. NC has lots of BBQ. Unfortunately, few North Carolinians make it the way God meant it to be made--mustard based sauce. It is *all* about that stuff... Anyone from SC can tell you--its great stuff. Besinger's, Melvin's whatever... Its all good stuff, and beats the crap out of the vinegar based stuff.

Very confused by these two statements. Real chili should be from South or West Texas. "Mexican food" as that term is commonly used, is best in San Antonio. If you go too far west, it starts to get all weird.
East Texas doesn't have great specialties, except for fried turkey, really dark tea, and hamburgers with lots of mayo and grilled onions. I prefer my West Texas roots.

Lebell 02-11-2004 01:10 PM

Food is such a funny thing.

It's what we grow up with that we think is best.


I've had Mexican food all over the country (not to mention Mexico) and I'll take the stuff from some of the dives down on Federal Blvd. over it any day of the week.

Same with Italian.

Growing up in Denver's Little Italy (north Denver, now Little Mexico), I feel I've had some of the best, authentic Italian food there is, but I've had NY snobs tell me no.

Whatever.

I've also eaten BBQ all over this great nation, and the BEST BBQ I've EVER had was in this little hole-in-the-wall in New Ellenton, SC. (The Blue Moon BBQ in Kentucky (Paducah?) is second.) Yeah, that means I think it's better than Texas style.

Folks, it all boils down to what you like.

Arbiestsheft04 02-11-2004 01:21 PM

Pork Roll, also known a Taylor Ham. A uniquely New Jersey flavor. Everyone is missing out except us NJ folks.

Lokus 02-11-2004 02:22 PM

There's this small place in my home town called Casa Gourmet that makes the best quesadillas I've ever tasted. Sure, quesadillas aren't really specific to CA but goddamn, the ones they make at Casa are so good....I want one right now.

/me salivates

P.S. In N Out is the best!

animosity 02-11-2004 02:39 PM

Good idea ::runs downstairs::

OK, I'm back now. I'm 45 minutes awa from New Haven pizza, and an hour away from NY pizza. I have the best of both worlds. Now if I could just get myself a teleporter to Chicago ...

majik_6 02-12-2004 07:25 AM

Hippy-tofu anything...one of the things I truly love about where I'm living now.

And the Burrito Buggy. Burritos made by environmentally-aware art students with dreads featuring all kinds of "organic" non-Mexican stuffins. Fan-fuckin-tastic. No lie.

From back home: sweet tea, the way it's supposed to be, and biscuits from Tudor's Biscuit World.

I miss two foods from Minnesota, and no, they're not lutefisk and lefse.

Old Dutch Puffcorn Curls - can't find 'em out here
Cheese curds. Mmmm....deep fried breaded cheddar cheese *drool*
